Boulter Defends Nottingham Crown, De Minaur Misses Flight to Witness Triumph

Alex de Minaur and Katie Boulter, the Australian-British tennis power couple, have once again celebrated title victories in the same tournament week. However, this time, de Minaur missed the opportunity to witness Boulter's triumph in person due to a missed flight.

Hours after de Minaur claimed the ATP grass-court title in 's-Hertogenbosch, Boulter successfully defended her WTA Nottingham crown on Sunday. The British No. 1 overcame a thrilling semifinal against Emma Raducanu, the former US Open champion, in a match that resumed after being halted on Saturday. Boulter then faced sixth seed Karolina Pliskova in the final, who had also fought back from a set down in her semifinal.

Despite de Minaur's absence, Boulter prevailed in a hard-fought three-set battle against Pliskova, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2. The victory marked Boulter's second WTA title of the season, following her triumph in San Diego in March.

In a playful exchange on social media, de Minaur expressed his amazement at Boulter's latest achievement, while Boulter joked that they would have a serious conversation about his missed flight.

"How did that happen again 🤯🤯🤯🤯 @katiecboulter You are a joke!!! #doubletrouble," de Minaur wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Boulter responded during her on-court interview, "My boyfriend didn't make the trip even though I thought he might after his win in 's-Hertogenbosch. We will have to be talking about that tonight and see if we're gonna still be together. I hope he's listening to this because we've got some talking to do."

Despite the missed flight, the couple's success on the tennis court continues to be a testament to their talent and dedication. Boulter is now set to compete in Birmingham, while de Minaur will head to London Queen's.
